Kennedy K-W
The Kennedy K-W is an American high-wing, strut-braced, single-seat glider that was designed by Harold Kennedy of Dodge City, Kansas, with assistance from Floyd Watson. The aircraft is notable for being assembled from certified powered aircraft components and also for having had an in-flight break-up.〔Said, Bob: ''1983 Sailplane Directory, Soaring Magazine'', page 7.

==Design and development==
The K-W glider was assembled from a collection of certified fixed-wing aircraft parts. The aft fuselage was from an Aeronca Chief, with the welded steel tubing structure narrowed from a two seats in side-by-side seating configuration to a single seat width. The vertical fin from the Chief was retained. The tailplane was from a Taylorcraft, reduced in span to to allow road transportation on a trailer. The single monowheel landing gear, wings and V-struts were taken from an Aeronca K. The wings were modified to add spoilers.〔
Because of its component parts heritage, the aircraft had a steel tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in doped aircraft fabric covering.〔
A second aircraft was constructed along the same lines by Bob Dart of Mayville, New York and called the Aero-5. This aircraft still existed in May 2011.〔
